The Public are cautioned to
bbware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of
the Batik of the United States, and Twenty
Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America,
federal of <w/.icb have appeared in circulation
within a few days pajl ; they are a good ge
neral imitation of the genuine Bills, but may
be dijhngiifhed by the following
MARKS.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the
United States.
ALL thai have appeared hav? the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. m the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from ihe top of ihe O,
to touch the top of the M would extend con
liderably above the range of the whole word.
waftf
In tin word United the letters are narrow
erand ctofer together than the reft of the bill
The i and fin the word promise are not
parallel, the y inclining much more forward
than the 7.
The engraving is badly executed,die ftiokes
of all the Letters aie stronger and the devi e
in themargin particularly is much coarier and
appears darker than in ihe true bills. Some
at the counterfeits bear date in 1 791— Where
as the Bank was not jii operation till Decern
ber, and 110 five dollar bills were iflued in
lhat year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North
ALL that have appeared have the letter
B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly fimiFar
to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes
above described ; the engraving iijbeitei exe
ucted, and they approach neaier to the ap
pearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Tuen
ty y in the body of ihe bill, are in number trhjr
teen in the genuine b lis, and but twelve in
the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame
word in the Five Dollar Bills as defer ibed a
bove, the o being less than Che jo, and others
following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North
whereas in the genuine bilis the stroke is well
defined.
The letters ent in the word Tutirty, to the
left hand at the bottom, do noi come down to
the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular
appearance to the word, the I w and go
ing below them.
The fignaiuie I Nixon* has the appear
ance of being writteu with lamb-oiack a«d
Oil, and differs from other inks used in
printing the bills and the cafhiei's signature.
It i& supposed these forgeries were committed
in some of the Southern States, a» a 1 the coun
terfeits thai hive appeared, have come Irom
ihence, and two persons have be'en apprehend
ed in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author
of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
will be paid 10 any Peiiou 01 Ptifons who lhail
difcovei and piofecute to conviction the levcial
offenders of the following description* or any
pt them, viz.
The peifon or pcrfons, who manufs&ured

The denomination is of TWENTY DOL
LARS,and the alphabetical mark is-the let
ter B.
They may be diftihguifhed from the genu
ine byi.be following MARKS :
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more
tender texture and glofley fcri'ace than the
genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
Tke letter C. in the word Caftiier, in the
true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the
counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine'hair
stroke, evidently in an unfinilhed Hate. The
letter a in the word demand, is badly formed
and the whole word ill done, and there is no
comma at the end of it, as there is in the
genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much daiker in
the falfe, than in the genuine bills owing to
the (hade flrokes being coarser, much nearer
together, and confequeotly much more nu
merous. This difference strikes the eye at firft
view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, iz
prosecuting to convi&ion the Several above
described Offenders in to this, as to
the last described bills.

The Fuji America* Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality, if right
ly understood, is the onU baiis on vhich
univerfai justice, Jacred oder, and perfect
freedom, can he firmly boilt, and permanent
ly fecur>ed. The view of it exhibited in this
eflay, at the fame time thai it represses the
insolence of* office, the tyranny of prrde y and
the outrages of" oppreiEon ; torfirms, m tbe
most forcible manner, the necessity of fobor
dination, and the just demands of lawful au
thority. So far indeed, from loofenirg the
bands of society, that it maintains inviolate,
every natural and every civil diftin&ion,
draws more closely every facial lie, unites in
one harmonious and juftiv proportioned sys
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inherent rights of human na
ture, of reciprocal obligation, and of a com
mon relation to the community.
